Midlothian, Illinois Speed Traps

Cops tend to sit in the forest preserve entrance here and further east at the bachelor’s grove cemetary parking lot

When traveling south on Kedzie and you come from underneath the 294 viaduct, the Midlothian Police sit in the parking lot near the park with radar. Even if you have a radar detector, byt the time you exit the viaduct, it is too late. They also sometimes will sit there during morning rush hour too.

Yes, Midlothian police are very, very eager to give out speeding tickets especially at the end of the month particularly on 143rd between Kostner and Pulaski going east when the speed limit goes from 30 mph to 35 mph, and in the reverse direction especially near the Metra railroad tracks. They will even ticket you for going 5-8 mph over the speed limit.

Police sit and do early morning radar

The Midlothian Police do not issue warning tickets, not like those nice Crestwood Police Officers who aren’t issued ticket books because they are only part timers. They don’t issue tickets to Crestwood Residents.
